Impacts of the pandemic:

• Varies by Sector

• Resources

Federal Resources are most critical through SBA grants and loans, UI, aid to States, Cities and Counties, etc.

State Programs: SBEL & Loan Guarantee Program

Local Programs: Varies by Community

What Businesses and Workers Need to Know

• Businesses must be safe and healthy for their workers and customers

• In order to reopen, any non-Critical Sector business or retail establishment must have a COVID-19 Preparedness Plan in place to protect the health and safety of their workers.

• Once a COVID-19 Preparedness plan is in place and workers are called back to work, anticipate that some may be nervous or worried about returning to the workplace. Be flexible and provide necessary accommodations for workers.

• Some employees may not be able to return to work.
